After 2.5 years, Wong Kar-Wai is still shooting his Yip Man biopic The Grandmasters. Yeah: two-and-a-half years! The people over at The Playlist picked up on this after co-star Zhang Ziyi posted photos of Wong Kar-Wai's 54th birthday party from the set of the film.

Production on The Grandmasters began in December 2009. For some extra perspective, it's worth noting that The Grandmasters was being developed back in 2008 before the Donnie Yen/Wilson Yip film Ip Man was even in production. At this rate, Yen and Yip will have finished Ip Man 3D, Ip Man 4 Life, and Ip Man Flash and the Furious Five before The Grandmasters sells its first ticket.

I do really want to see The Grandmasters since I enjoy Wong Kar-Wai's films a lot, though I'm wondering if all these delays will be worth it. The release date is still set for December 18th, 2012. We'll see if that holds in the coming months.

When it comes to American Sniper, I've found over the last few days that it's better to tread water when criticizing. It's a shame, but I've been hit by quite a few slurs from folks that are taking the film to heart. But desp...more

Every year, there is at least one biographic film about someone who accomplished great things in his or her life, whether it's something artistic, scientific, or otherwise. This year's biopic of note is The Theory of Everythi...more

Yay, a new Foxcatcher trailer! Is anybody as excited for this film as I am? Between my love of Channing Tatum, Steve Carrell, and Mark Ruffalo, the dreary atmosphere, and incredibly intense subject matter, I am ecstatic for ...more

Here we have it. After ten years of Don Cheadle trying to make Miles Davis movie happen we get our first look at the actor in character. I know nothing about jazz but I could listen to Miles Davis for all eternity. The image also comes with a confirmed title of Miles Ahead, and features one hell of jheri-curled mullet.
I'm glad that style went out of fashion. more

There is a lot riding on Diego Luna's Cesar Chavez to succeed. Latinos aren't exactly given a lot of representation in fiction, and if there's one man, one figurehead we can rally behind, it's the activist Cesar Chavez. As ot...more

Latinos don't have a lot of widely accepted historical icons. While we have our own, few have their names reach outside the Latino community. For example, Cesar Chavez was a farm worker in the 60s who organized a strike. Whe...more

With basically anything that has the name J.R.R. Tolkien attached to it printing money and a pretty interesting life story it's easy to see why a J.R.R. Tolkien biopic is in the works. The creator of Middle Earth will be join...more
